Jimmy Smith or Baby Face Willette?
Jess or Dean? (Gilmore Girls)

Agents love structured data:
📊 Rows
🧮 Columns
🗃️ Schemas

But reality runs on:
💬 Slack threads
🐙 GitHub comments from 3 months ago
📄 Docs named “final_final_FINAL_v3”

Redpanda Connect now bridges both.

Give #agents access to the real sources of truth — chaos & all👇

"Best Looking Strangers in the Cemetery" by The Bug Club is my new favorite Halloween-adjacent song (and also just a great song in general). open.spotify.com/track/7gCEHt...

I like gardening. I like softball. I like growing vegetables that are the size of softballs.

Why don't all pinecones have pine nuts? Really pisses me off.

Changing the TV back to its primary HDMI input is the modern day equivalent of "be kind, rewind."

One of these days I need to tell Spotify to never play James Taylor for me ever again. All these little "Sweet Baby James" references just grind my nerves down to nubs.

I heat everything in the microwave at 50% power because I'm afraid of the corruption that comes with a 100%-power microwave autocracy.
